Jubilee Review and Giveaway!

With the Queen's Jubilee just a few weeks away many of us are purchasing flags and bunting and planning garden parties to celebrate 60 years of her reign.

The lovely people at Prezzybox have a great selection of gift ideas for everyone and they have kindly provided me with 2 British themed products to review... and another two are up for grabs for your Jubilee Celebrations!

These British themed stands will present your cupcakes (and other snacks) perfectly for your garden or street party this June. They are made from sturdy card and are so simple to assemble it really is a piece of cake! The tiers have different images on and are reversible so you can pick and choose your favourite. An ideal centrepiece for any table and they can be used for other celebrations too as they are easy to take apart and store back in the bag they arrive in.

This stylish yet practical set is a stunning duo for your handbag. The magnifying mirror is great for makeup application when on the go and the professional grade tweezers are ideal for removing stray hairs. With the Jubilee and Olympics on the horizon this little set is super!

If you fancy buying these lovely items or shopping from a huge variety of other fantastic products you can head over to Prezzybox.

We're having a family party on the Bank Holiday Tuesday, combining a buffet of British dishes (e.g mini toad in the holes, strawberries and cream, of course coronation chicken!) and watching the TV coverage of the parade route, service at St Paul's and the flyover at Buckingham Palace. And patriotically waving our mini Union Jacks throughout :0)

We're going up to the Family Fun Day in Hyde Park - we're taking a picnic and I'm hoping to get lots of good photos of people being patriotic, and having fun. I just hope the rain stays away on the day!

We have some good friends who are out and about all weekend with their little marching band raising money for charity at several events, so I think we shall go and show our support and join in the fun. It has to include sunshine (??), bunting and endless cups of tea!

I will be visiting with my neighbour and her children for dinner and a get together. Her two older boys will be going to London with her parents for the Jubilee so she wanted to do something together before they go. We decided to suprise her and her daughter by taking them to Camelot with us.

Travelling down Saturday, going to the theatre Saturday night,then Sunday will be spent in Hyde Park at the Jubilee Family Festival, then hopefully off to the Thames to see the boats, then theatre again Sunday night then home (exhausted but happy) on Monday ;-) can't wait!!!

Then when I get home we're having our own Jubilee party for friends and family. I really will be shattered!
